10. Krimifestival Erfurt - Emily Rudolf: Das Dinner

In the organizer's words:

Everyone at the table is a good friend. Or are they?

Jonathan and his fiancée Lotta invite their old group of friends to a remote restaurant in the Eifel for a reunion. Only one place remains empty: five years ago, their friend Maria disappeared without a trace in the night. For old times' sake, the friends start a murder mystery dinner. But the game quickly merges with reality. Disturbing memories come up and raise questions: Who is lying for their role, who is lying for themselves? As a storm brews outside, the game escalates. Is Maria still alive? Or is there a murderer at the table?

Emily Rudolf knows her way around sophisticated psychological suspense in fascinating locations: Her debut "The Time Out" brought her a direct breakthrough as a thriller author. In her new book "The Dinner", she also explores the abysses lurking behind friendship and how human emotions can escalate to deadly levels. The author, born in 1998, grew up near Leipzig, published her first books alongside her studies and job and then turned her passion into a career. Emily Rudolf currently lives and writes in Nuremberg; in her free time, she likes to play murder mystery dinners like the protagonists of her current thriller, but with a less murderous outcome.
